<p>I attended ASD and was (thankfully) able to see a room in each of the halls of the Quad. I noticed that each hall has different things that it offers (A/C, pushpin boards, mirrors, etc.) so I am anxious to know which particular hall I'll be staying in (of course, who isn't?)
I'm curious to find out when we will know our housing assignments?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Where did you go in the Quad? I’m a senior. I stayed in Baldwin, and we didn’t have AC. Miserable lol.</p>
<p>update? is better to choose between the quad or the annex or jus go with new housing?</p>
<p>New dorms aren’t even finished as of now so no one knows what they will be like. There’s pros and cons to both the annex and the QUAD. I personally lived in the Quad in a triple (AC!) but only ended up with one roommate. I loved it and I found the lack of personal space encouraged me to get out and meet people rather than holing up. I also loved the court yard. I’d never lived in the city before and didn’t feel safe when i was alone outside so the courtyard was a kind of haven. The annex has better amenities but I find there’s a lot less community in most cases. Personally, I needed the community to help me adjust, but if you’re more social or can’t stand the idea of sharing a bathroom with a floor full of girls go annex.</p>
<p>QUAD
Pros: Long standing tradition, community, great ResFest teams, more people = more potential friends, gated in courtyard
Cons: May or may not have AC, shared bathrooms and showers, only a few shared microwaves, elevators can be finicky
Annex:
Pros: New building, more privacy, suite style living, cafeteria on bottom floor, AC in all rooms, great dance team
Cons: Less community, no fenced court yard, supply and clean your own bathroom, more floors (when elevators go out this sucks) </p>
